Writing and Printing by Hand
On 6 September, the Bible Museum will be participating in the ‘Night of Museums and Galleries’ as part of the ‘Schauraum Münster 2025’ with various activities. Children and adults can try their hand at writing on papyrus and parchment, for example. Visitors can also try out the replica Gutenberg press on the ground floor. In addition, three free night tours will be offered.
Making the Bible Speak
The commemorative publication ‘Die Bibel zum Sprechen bringen’ (Bringing the Bible to Life) has just been released, honouring Prof. Dr. Holger Strutwolf, Director of the Institute for New Testament Textual Research (INTF) and the Bible Museum at the University of Münster, on the occasion of his 65th birthday. In over 40 articles, internationally renowned scholars shed light on the current state of research in the field of reconstructing the ‘original text’ of the Greek New Testament.
Exhibition

Until 21 September, the Bible Museum is showing the exhibition ‘The History of the Bible’. For the first time, a complete 18th-century Greek icon cycle depicting the life of Jesus in six stages is on display. All scenes are taken from the Gospel of Luke and range from the depiction of the newborn baby to the Ascension.
